We show there exist no nontrivial semidualizing modules for nonmodular rings of invariants of order $p^n$ with $p$ a prime.

In this note, we give a new nonexistence result of ternary extremal self-dual codes.

We show that for a Noetherian ring $A$ that is $I$-adically complete for an ideal $I$, if $A/I$ admits a dualizing complex, so does $A$. This gives an alternative proof of the fact that a Noetherian complete local ring admits a dualizing…

A ring with an Auslander dualizing complex is a generalization of an Auslander-Gorenstein ring. We show that many results which hold for Auslander-Gorenstein rings also hold in the more general setting. On the other hand we give criteria…

This paper consists of three parts. In the first part we prove that Zhu's and $C_2$-algebras in type $A$ have the same dimensions. In the second part we compute the graded decomposition of the $C_2$-algebras in type $A$, thus proving the…

The paper investigates biorderability of knot quandles of prime knots up to eight crossings. We prove that knot quandles of knots $6_3$, $8_7$, $8_8$, $8_{10}$ and $8_{16}$ can not be biorderable. However, we see that knot quandles of knots…

We point out two errors in the paper ``The integer cohomology algebra of toric arrangements'', Adv. Math., Vol. 313, pp. 746-802, 2017. The main error concerns Theorem 4.2.17. In that theorem's proof, Diagram (8) does not commute in general…

The classical case of Schur--Weyl duality states that the actions of the group algebras of $GL_n$ and $S_d$ on the $d^{th}$-tensor power of a free module of finite rank centralize each other. We show that Schur--Weyl duality holds for…

We introduce spherical T-duality, which relates pairs of the form $(P,H)$ consisting of a principal $SU(2)$-bundle $P\rightarrow M$ and a 7-cocycle $H$ on $P$. Intuitively spherical T-duality exchanges $H$ with the second Chern class…

We study supersymmetric $SU(N-4)$ gauge theories with a symmetric tensor and $N$ antifundamental representations. The theory with $W=0$ has a dual description in terms of a non-chiral $Spin(8)$ theory with one spinor and $N$ vectors. This…

We show that the Novikov-Shubin invariant of an element of the integral group ring of the lamplighter group Z_2 \wr Z can be irrational. This disproves a conjecture of Lott and Lueck. Furthermore we show that every positive real number is…

For the direct product $\cZ\times \cZ_3$ of infinite cyclic group $\cZ$ and a cyclic group $\cZ_3$ of order $3$, the schur rings over it are classified. In particular, all the schur rings are proved to be traditional.

In this paper we consider two new conjectures concerning $D(4)$-quadruples and prove some special cases which support their validity. The main result is a proof that $\{a,b,c\}$ and $\{a+1,b,c\}$ cannot both be $D(4)$-triples.

We prove that if A is a finite algebra with a parallelogram term that satisfies the split centralizer condition, then A is dualizable. This yields yet another proof of the dualizability of any finite algebra with a near unanimity term, but…

We prove an analogon of Koszul duality for category O in positive characteristic. However, there are no Koszul rings, and we do not prove an analog of the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjectures in this context.

We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…

We study the notion of formal-duality over finite cyclic groups of prime power order as introduced by Cohn, Kumar, Reiher and Sch\"urmann. We will prove that for any cyclic group of odd prime power order, as well as for any cyclic group of…

An early result in the theory of Natural Dualities is that an algebra with a near unanimity (NU) term is dualizable. A converse to this is also true: if V(A) is congruence distributive and A is dualizable, then A has an NU term. An…

We introduce a new method to study rational conjugacy of torsion units in integral group rings using integral and modular representation theory. Employing this new method, we verify the first Zassenhaus Conjecture for the group…

We give a proof of Ollinger's conjecture that the problem of tiling the plane with translated copies of a set of $8$ polyominoes is undecidable. The techniques employed in our proof include a different orientation for simulating the Wang…
